Due to being a permanent resident of Uttarakhand, I have chosen the title for the conference as - Rural Tourism for Uttarakhand, its importance, scope and challenges. Uttarakhand is an Indian state located in the Northern region of India. Uttarakhand State is established on 9-Nov- 2000. Total area of Uttarakhand is 53,483 Km² including 52,581.08 km² rural area and 901.92 km² urban area with the population of 69.77 residing in rural areas and only 30.23% population residing in urban area. Considering the above figures, it is easy to assess that if the state has to develop and deal with acute problems like migration, unemployment, then its action plan is of utmost importance, considering it very seriously about rural tourism. Nature has summed up this state with its beauty, it is necessary to develop and propagate new tourist sites similar to the already famous tourist sites. There is a possibility of tourism in the every corner of this state. This is not so simple due to the odd geographical conditions of the State of Uttarakhand and due to natural calamities from time to time. But this task is completely possible by the strong political will and honest functioning. For this, we can learn from other states like Himachal and Kerala and foreign technology can also be used for infrastructure development. Thus, untreated and unprecedented results can be achieved by keeping the soul of the village of Uttarakhand, the culture of its culture and delicious dishes, by propagating the air march and by entertaining the guest of hospitality.
